This picture shows bright flowers and tiny birds flying around them. The flowers are red, orange, and pink with green leaves. The birds have long beaks and shiny feathers. Some are hovering near the flowers. The artist used careful lines to make everything look real. The colors are soft but clear, like a sunny day. Want to know more? Check out engraving.
